I’m geniunely curious, what do the actual fans of Sword Art Online think of SAO abridged?
I watched the first few episodes and didn’t really think the quality was all that great. Maybe it got better, I don’t know. I do know that I feel one of the most important elements of making an abridged series is being a fan of the source material, which really doesn’t seem to be the case.
Not having at least a tertiary knowledge of the material you’re parodying leads to memes like Kayaba not knowing why he created Aincrad being treated as fact instead of lampooning the fact that so many people think so etc.
Generally I’m apt to dislike it because it’s created a legion of people that think it’s a better story and characters than Sword art online itself, but who haven’t read word one of the novels.
